Toronto - The Bay Street Parade - Canon 7D

This is a video entitled "The Bay Street Parade" that myself and my Fiancé Lisa Perry filmed in Toronto on July 19, 2011. It illustrates the daily migration of people from the suburbs to their offices in the down town core via commuter trains to Union Station. The locations in the movie were mostly on or near Bay Street except the Skywalk which is over top of York Street. The videos were shot with a Canon 7D with EFs 18-135mm IS F3.5/5.6 lens and a EF 50mm F1.8. The time lapse was shot with a Canon SX30IS and a CHDK interval timer. The time lapses were completed in Adobe Lightroom and put together as a .Mov file with Quicktime. The whole video was edited with Sony Vegas 10. The Music is a song that I wrote on July 20, 2011 to go along with the video (That's why it ends the way it does) it is about how all people from all walks of life feel the same way no matter what their situation. It was recorded in my home studio with a Breedlove acoustic guitar / Fender Strat / Pearl drum set with Porkpie snare / a $15 Tambourine. It was edited in Adobe Audition. (It's kinda out of my usual genre so I wanted to try it) The whole thing took about 2 days of work but I think it was worth it. If you have any questions about what I did or how I did it fire away :)
